Default BBS Wheels
How do those with BBS LM keep them clean
without washing every spoke? Or is there
a better choice for cleaning? Any one have
second thoughts and wish they bought wheels
easier to clean?

Default switching from oem to hawk hps brake pads cut dust by 50%
i also use the tire mitt from griots, which makes cleaning the rims much easier.

Default nick, love that tire swipe tool, but ...
it seems like within 50 uses or so (that's 200 tires), the foam part starts to separate from the plastic backing. am i using it wrong? maybe the tire dressing is reacting badly with the adhesive?
